Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As a babe was I alone in my horror
Every sign rang the chord of dishonor
Oh I tried to see if I could find a light un'neath the dust
But my kin I love and the others thirst for blood
[Verse 2]
Like an island growing older
I'm an orphan country to my home
Oh ask me why I stay, I say I know no other place
But my kin I love and the others thirst for blood
[Verse 3]
He can hear me now, run me wild
As I am was the child
A wild horse should be left to run
Leave me to run a little while
Leave me to run
[Verse 4]
My sister sits alone by the radio
Does she hear something I don't stealing on
There's a door I cannot open and a feeling I can't price
So my kin stay out of love and the others thirst for blood
[Verse 5]
You can hear me now, run me wild
As I am was the child
A wild horse should be left to run
Leave me to run a little while
Leave me to run
[Verse 6]
Ooh
Oh yeah
[Verse 7]
You can hear me now, run me wild
As I am was the child
You can hear me now, run me wild
As I am was the child
A wild horse should be left to run
Leave me to run a little while
Leave me to run
[Verse 8]
(Little while) Leave me to run
(Little while) Oh, Leave me to run
(Little while) Leave me to run
(A little while) Leave me to run
